"And there it was." Shaking her head at ch'Fairia then looking to Sineade. "Think he's on to something?" Kara made a face of not being sure to let it ride or, well do something.

Sineade turned to Kara after watching their companion's action, "To tell you the truth, I am just not sure." She glanced back at Tholan. "It could be, but have you noticed the other guy that keeps passing by the window?"

Ch'Fairia was busy pretending to care that he dumped the milkshake in the mans lap. "sorry sir. I'm such a klutz." grabbing napkins and dropping them in his lap as he pilferers the mans wallet from his pocket.

"I noticed, I kind of thought it a little strange, yes."

Sineade frowned, "I don't know what, but something is brewing." She shook her head, "Listen to me, The first time I try to socialize I start acting like someone is out to get me or something. I'm sorry, you must think I am paranoid."

"I agree." He said sitting down at the table and places the man's wallet on the table.

"What," Sineade asked, "You agree I'm Paranoid, or that something is brewing?" She looked down at the wallet, "So now what?"

"I don't know that I would say paranoid really." Eating a bit more.

"all the above." He gave her a friendly smile. "But that just makes two of us, something is going down I just don't know what." He looked at Kara then the wallet back to Kara, grinning with a you should check it out look.

Sineade watched the looks from wallet to Kara and had to bite back a small chuckle. She glanced at Kara to see what her response would be.

"Well gimmie then," taking the wallet and opening it to go through it.

Sineade watched Kara rifle through the wallet, "anything?"

Watches, munching on his food

"Hmm...Looks like he's an office worker at the Academy. We'll have to have access to a computer to find out any more than that. A John Wilksman."

"well, we have his name and where he works," Sineade said quietly, "we should drop that on the floor somewhere for him, or someone else, to find."

"Already planned that," smiling lightly. Getting up and going over there. Leaning down to look like she was picking it up. "Excuse me, sir. You dropped this." Holding it out.

She was glad it was Kara. Sineade was pretty sure she'd have trouble looking sincere. Not because she would have been lying so much as she just wasn't comfortable talking with people she didn't know.

"ok so that wasnt our stalker." he said confused,

Sineade sighed, "Guess not. There's still the guy in the window."

The man accepts the wallet and nods, whispering something to Kara and then paying for his meal and leaving.

She looked at him curiously then walked back over, sitting down.

Raises an eyebrow at Kara, "You ok?"

She dropped her voice, "He's Intelligence. Says that we're being hunted by assassins. Apparently isn't suppose to tell me that."

"great....." looks discreatly over his shoulder at the door and then towards the bathroom.

"What?" following the look.

Sineade was dumbfounded. Where they only after one of them.. or all of them? "You think it could be the window watcher?"

"that would be my guess. Let's hurry and finish and get out of her , back to the security of a federation facility."

"Probably. Or we could just confront the guy."

Sineade nodded, glad that she hadn't ordered anything. "I could leave now through the back door, if there is one. and you guys can go through the front."

"or all of us out the back. Should we call the captain let her know?"

"Probably, unless its limited to just us three?" Giving a little shrug. "Lets just go out back."

Except they weren't going to get the chance. There was the sound of the expolsion(s) first, followed by the actual shock wave. Which it seemed as if they were either really close by, maybe the shopping district, or the Academy, or Headquarters, or all three.

Sineade had stood, ready to head for the back when she heard the blast and was then thrown backwards as the shockwave hit.

Kara braced a little bit, crossing her arms up in front of her. Looking to them, getting up to help Sineade. "What in the hell what that!?"

He was still sitting when the force of the explosion, slammed him into and over the table. Landing on his back in a pile of rubble that was a chair and the table behind them.

The force of the impact had thrown Sineade into the wall about 3 feet off the ground. She slid down the wall, leaving a smear of blood as evidence of injury.

"Are you okay?" Holding her hand out. Looking around to see whom else might be hurt.

He had several wood shards sticking out of his back, when he rolled over metal rod going through his hand from the table. "Minor injuries I think." Trying to stand he looked around, "where is Sineade?"
